I hope you're all having a relaxing and enjoyable holiday season. But unlike other blogs, I don't want to harp on about 'what I got' or 'what I wore', instead I want to share with you a classic- very lady-like- outfit perfect for any season.

Now, every girl needs an LBD- and not one that can only be worn to the sleaziest of nightclubs. It will become your closet saviour every time you ask 'what should I wear'. It should be comfortable, modest (enough), have a classic (enough) style and a flattering cut on you. And while the LBD is great by itself, it serves as the perfect backdrop for feature pieces like this scarf. (Side note: Remember that a simple square scarf can be worn multiple ways, so why not try something different like this over the shoulders, or- if you're fashion brave- turn it into a turban).

I don't wear a lot of white. It's often difficult, impractical, and scary. I know the 'all white' outfit is often left to the beautiful tanned goddesses of the fashion world, but I figured I'd try hand at it again. Even if my skin did somewhat camouflage in with my outfit...

Unless you have been turning a blind eye to all things fashion for the past year, you would know crop tops are a big thing (despite their undeniably small nature). It seems like every girl and her best friend has one, or two, or three. Don't get me wrong, I love to dabble in trends, and pure popularity won't make me stop trying one. My biggest concern about the crop top was how to keep it classy (ish) and respectable.

We all know (and most often follow) the rules of modesty. It's legs out or chest on display- never both. But where does the mighty mid-rift come in this equation? A question no-one, it seems, has had to ponder since the mid 90s, though a question to which I think I've found the answer. It's simple- just add sleeves. The best way to get your crop top the seal of modesty is to go for one with sleeves- short or long, or as I have gone, somewhere in between.

And so begins the second round of the Stylight competition. (We didn't win the first, bummer.) This fortnight the theme is 'black'. So please vote for my looks by 'hearting' them here. All looks with the hashtag 'black' will count towards the $200 prize for this theme and the overall $700 prize- so please while you're over there vote for them all. And who knows, maybe one day I'll have offices in London... A girl can dream.

This is my third and final 'sporty' look for the Stylight blogger competition (the next theme will be announced soon). I have very little to say on this look. I am addicted to these MLM t-shirts. So comfy. So classic. And you get to rep some of your favourite celebrities. Pop on some denim shorts and sneakers. And that's my take on a 'sportsluxe' look. (If you can't tell, I'm not very sporty.)

Something a little more practical than a dress, like that in my first look. Though still with a feminine, lacy flair. Black and white has definitely been an encroaching trend in my wardrobe this year. But it's refreshing to give an unexpected burst of colour to break from the monotonous monochrome.

As some of you who are in tune with the fashionblogosphere are probably well aware STYLIGHT has recently launched in Australia. And so to celebrate they're having a blogger competition, which I was lucky enough to be included in.

Heres the deal:

Each fortnight we (20 bloggers) are given a theme to guide our outfits that we post on Stylight- this week its #sporty. The blogger with the most 'hearts' (equivalent to 'likes' on other sites) on all their sporty outfits wins $200 for that theme. Pretty simple.

What I would love for you to do is sign up to Stylight if you already haven't and 'heart' my looks. That's it. And I will follow and 'heart' you back of course!

I'll keep you updated here on all my looks and provide you with links to them. It would really mean a lot for you to get involved. Even outside of this competition Stylight is a great place to discover new bloggers, find fashion inspiration- it can even help you purchase the looks that you love.
